This week in research #149

Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week (a very quite week, it seems, but I've been busy with final assessments in the papers I teach):

  • Huang et al. present HouseholdBench, a new evaluation for LLMs that tests whether they can predict behaviour, including how households adjust to changes in various policies

Also new from the Waikato working papers series:

  • Suzuki et al. examine the impact of digital water-quality monitors and a farm-management app through a ten-month experiment involving shrimp farmers in Southern Vietnam, and find that the intervention reduces disease outbreaks as well as increasing revenue and profit for these smallholder farmers
